Blah, blah blah! Yeah the league would be a much better league without Canadian teams. Calgary, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton all have had the same talk at one point or another. Winnipeg is on round 2.
Quebec gone,
What the league needs to do is have more parity between the US and Canadian market or this revolving door of teams in Canada will continue.
The laffs are safe because their fan base is clueless enough to support a team for over 50 years without any success.
But, that said, it is not necessarily a bad thing!
